Mishnah 1

edit

The four new years are:

On the first of Nisan, the new year for the kings and for the festivals;

On the first of Elul, the new year for the tithing of animals;

Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Shimon say, in the first of Tishrei

On the first of Tishrei, the new year for years, for the Sabbatical years and for the Jubilee years and for the planting and for the vegetables

On the first of Shevat, the new year for the trees, these are the words of the House of Shammai;

The House of Hillel says, on the fifteenth thereof.

Mishnah 2

edit

At four times the world is judged:

On Pesach, for the crops.

On Shavuot, for the fruits of the tree.

On Rosh Hashanah, all the world passes before Him like sheep, as it says,

"He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings." (Psalms 33:15)

And on Sukkot, they are judged for the water.

Mishnah 3

edit

On six months messengers go out:

On Nisan, because of Pesach;

On Av, because of the fast

On Elul, because of Rosh Hashnanah;

On Tishrei, to correct for the festivals

On Kislev, because of Chanukah;

On Adar, because of Purim;

And when the Temple existed, they also went out on Iyar, because of the little Pesach.

Mishnah 4

edit

On two months they desecrate the Shabbat, on Nisan and on Tishrei.

For in those months, they were sent out to Syria to correct for the festivals.

And when the Temple existed, they desecrated Shabbat in all of them--

To correct for the sacrifices.

Mishnah 5

edit

Regardless of whether the moon was clearly visible or not clearly visible,

They desecrate the Shabbat for it;

Rabbi Yosei says:

If it was clearly visible, they do not desecrate the Shabbat for it.
